If you did not request the change, I would suggest to call UA (if it is UA who issued the ticket) and ask the agent to add a note to the PNR (passenger name record) so that after you complete the trip you can ask for the ORC (original routing credit).
Alternatively, you could most likely get a full refund if you claim that the new schedule is not convenient for you (e.g. you make up a reason such as you already arranged for travel from your destination and the new arrival time doesn't work for you).

Blame it on the shock...... Let me clarify. It seems UA is dumping the Seattle hub and unfortunately Seattle used is the fastest Connection to Anchorage. Now if you book LH to Anchorage you find yourself not onboard the usual UA flight but on an Alaskan flight! The question is now how is this going to affect us.

If that is so bad, fly to ORD or LAX and connect to UAs service to ANC from there?
